According to Hon. Lawyer Be-Awuribe, the men and women in uniform share a common mission to defend the integrity of Ghana and serve its people, often at great personal risk.

“I can say without hesitation that if any security personnel in any part of the country are not living up to their responsibilities, it is certainly not the case in the Savannah Region,” he said. “Security agencies here have demonstrated perfect integration, outstanding cooperation, and strong camaraderie with the people.”
Hon. Be-Awuribe further disclosed that as part of ongoing operations against illegal mining (galamsey), 18 excavators have been seized in the region.
He praised the security agencies for their firm stance, describing the action as critical to environmental protection and the preservation of livelihoods.
